Embedded Software Development for Safety-Critical Systems, Second Edition, Paperback

This is a book about the development of dependable, embedded software. It is for systems designers, implementers, and veriers who are experienced in general embedded software development, but who are now facing the prospect of delivering a software-based system for a safety-critical application. It is aimed at people creating a product that must satisfy one or more of the international standards relating to safety-critical applications, including IEC 61508, ISO 26262, EN 50128, EN 50657, IEC 62304, or related standards.

Of the first edition, Stephen Thomas, PE, Founder and Editor of FunctionalSafetyEngineer.com said, "I highly recommend Mr. Hobbs' book."

Chris is a programmer at QNX Software Systems with some 40 years of software development experience. His specialty is

"Sufficiently Dependable Software," which is software that meets its dependability requirements with the minimum development effort

and risk. In particular, he works with software for safety-critical systems that must meet the requirements of international safety

standards such as IEC61508, ISO26262, EN50128 and IEC62304.
